- Pursuant to Section 301(a) of the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of 2004 (PL 108-137), and the Federal Register announcement of January 27, 2004, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking a contractor to manage and operate the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), in Berkeley, Alameda County, California. LBNL is a multi-program DOE national research laboratory located on a 200 acre site owned by the University of California (UofC). The site is leased by DOE from the UofC under a set of leases. LBNL conducts key elements of DOE?s missions in science, energy, and the environment. In support of these missions, LBNL: (i) performs leading multidisciplinary research in the physical sciences, computing sciences, energy sciences, biosciences, and general sciences in a manner that ensures employee and public safety, and protection of the environment; (ii) develops and operates unique national experimental facilities that are available to qualified investigators; (iii) educates and trains future generations of scientists and engineers to promote national science and education goals; and (iv) transfers knowledge and technological innovations and fosters productive relationships between LBNL research programs, universities, and industry to promote national economic competitiveness. Anticipated funding for FY 2004 for LBNL, from all sources, is approximately $489,000,000. Current Laboratory programs are in Basic Energy Sciences, Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Nuclear Physics, High-Energy Physics, Biological and Environmental Research, Fusion Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewal Energy, Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, Fossil Energy, Environmental Management, Policy, Planning and Analysis, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development, and University and Science Education Programs and associated Engineering. LBNL is a leading national science and technology research center which operates the following national user facilities: Advanced Light Source, Biomedical Isotope Facility, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, and the National Center for Electron Microscopy. A national nanoscience research center, the Molecular Foundry, is currently under construction at LBNL. Additionally, LBNL performs other non-DOE federal government, and other sponsored research that supports the Laboratory?s missions (notably those of the National Institutes of Health, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Defense, state government and industry). DOE anticipates that award of a new performance-based management and operating contract will be made in the last quarter of calendar year 2004 and is expected to include a 60 to 90 day transition period.
